Hello, Chase. Been following your posts and many others for awhile before chiming in my two cents. YOu get what you pay for here...lol

No, didn't have any people in the Civil War. Folks came through Ellis Island in 1922 from Greece. Wound up in San Francisco running a little neighborhood store on Van Ness. Put my dad through medical school in the mid-1940s. Govt fast tracked him through in anticipation of mega-casualties from the invasion of Japan. Skipped a few courses, such as anesthesia, bed side manner, etc.
